Hi Nicola,

Your simulation does not run because of a bug in DesignBuilder version 1.2. DesignBuilder checks to see whether daylighting control is used within a zone and if it is it switches off the 'Lump similar windows on surface' model option for that zone. This works fine except that in your model you are also using 'Merge zones connected by holes' and DesignBuilder is looking in the wrong zone to check whether daylighting is switched on. The bug is now fixed at our end and the next beta release will include the fix.

In the meantime, you can get your model to run by simply switching off 'Lump similar windows on surface' or 'Merge zones connected by holes'.

Regards,

Andy
